RE: To creat cavity of complex surface

I'm tooling mold designer.If you don't have the module "mold Design" yo must to do next:

-Make a copy of your model and apply the Shrinkcage value scaling the part, if we talking about PC plastic you must to scale 1.006.

-Create an assamble and insert your model shrinkaged. -create inside the assy a new part empty and activate.-Copy the main surfaces for the cavity side or the core sideand complete with another surfaces merged that you can create after that.
